Output

IPCS dump directory data set (IPCSDDIR DD)
Formatted output (IPCSPRNT DD)
TSO/E messages (SYSTSPRT DD)

IPCSPRNT, the IPCS print file, contains the dump or trace output. The SETDEF PRINT subcommand tells IPCS to direct output to the IPCS print file. The SETDEF TERMINAL subcommand tells IPCS to direct output to the SYSTSPRT file. TSO/E messages and some IPCS messages are directed to SYSTSPRT even if SETDEF PRINT NOTERMINAL was entered.

The IPCSDDIR dump directory data set is a VSAM indexed cluster that IPCS uses to store information. Usually, the dump directory is used internally by IPCS and IPCS formatting routines but there are subcommand interfaces for you to store and delete information. See z/OS MVS IPCS User's Guide for more information about the IPCSPRNT, SYSTSPRT, and IPCSDDIR files.
